Tears for Sale

Aroview: The sombre title belies what is in fact a joyously bawdy Balkan fairytale that blends fantastical folklore, striking burlesque visuals and ample tongue-in-cheek.

Suffering a shortage of males (in the aftermath of the Serbian war), two nubile sisters from a remote village are compelled to kidnap men from the city, if not lose their virginity along the way! Despite an ending that feels rushed and not as well-rounded as, say, a real Grimm fairytale, this otherwise checks all the boxes, and especially brings out the best from its ravishing, nostril-flaring cast. Executive-produced by Luc Besson.
